Thank you, I have already looked at the midi file, which might be considered cheating.
But its a good idea.
When I read the piece of sheet music, as I understand it, there is a part were 5 times a C is played.
That cant be right, and the midi file I have studied, also does not have the c that many times on a row.
And the midi file might not be 100% accurate, but my ears agree to the midi file more, then what I create in lmms from the piece of sheet music.
That's also why I want a midi controller keyboard. One part of my struggle is all about, me don't having a clue how long a note should be in lmms.
And reading it, lets say a 1/4 note is not something I can use directly in lmms, because that don't match.
But when I just tap along with the song on that keyboard, maybe just using two keys, I hope it will help me finding the right note length in lmms. I cant play nor read sheet music very well yet, but my rhythm sense is good.
One thing that does keep me going, I want to learn to read sheet music, and although this piece is not a good idea to start with, quitting won't solve anything.
Because most of my problem are not related to understanding the piece of sheet music, but how to get it right into lmms.
Still you're idea is good, but that's also why I have the piece printed.
Switching between the midi file and the piece of sheet music on my monitor, right now is one of the reasons why I get lost.
Then the arc's used also go from one page to another, which is causing me issues too. With the printed version I should have a much better overview.
And one of my internet friends might be willing to help me. She plays keyboard and can read sheet music.
When she listened to the first part of the cover I have in lmms, she instantly started about the note length not being right.
She was very subtitle in telling me this, but I will tell her, that at least in my case, there is no need for being sensitive.
One of my biggest frustrations still is, I can hear I am not doing it right, but fixing it, is giving me an headache.
